[Watch] “Time For Batting Promotion” -Yuzvendra Chahal Wildly Celebrates Hitting A Fifty In Box Cricket

Rajasthan Royals’ leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has playfully teased about his batting abilities. Though he hasn’t showcased his batting skills in competitive cricket, he seems to have demonstrated them in box cricket.

Chahal posted a video on his official Instagram account on Saturday, April 20, showcasing his batting prowess in box cricket. The 33-year-old scored a half-century and celebrated with evident joy over the accomplishment.

The clever spinner can be observed sprinting in jubilation after hitting a six. He also dodged a potential run-out opportunity when he was on 49. Eventually, he reached the 50-run milestone with a single and expressed his joy by kissing the pitch while celebrating his half-century.

Subtly requesting RR captain Sanju Samson for a promotion in the batting order, Chahal captioned the post:

“Maiden fifty for @rajasthanroyals 👍 Time for batting promotion @imsanjusamson 👀.”

“He is the only spinner who is bowling like a spinner in the IPL” – Harbhajan Singh views on Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal has showcased his prowess on the path to the 2024 T20 World Cup through his exceptional bowling performances in IPL 2024. Former spinner Harbhajan Singh has also lauded the RR star’s displays.

Singh expressed his admiration, noting that Chahal is the lone spinner unafraid to flight the ball in the ongoing tournament. The former cricketer-turned-commentator shared his views with Star Sports:

“He (Chahal) is champion cricketer. There is no one like him in world cricket. I am a big fan of him. He is the only spinner who is bowling like a spinner in the Indian Premier League. He is bowling slow and is not afraid of flighting the ball.”

“The spinners ball fast these days to avoid getting hit by the batters but Yuzi is different. Even if he goes for a six or four, he doesn’t change his style of bowling.”

Yuzvendra Chahal will be back in action on Monday, April 22, as Rajasthan faces Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
